Mushroom & Asparagus Spaghetti
Mushroom & Asparagus Spaghetti is a simple and delicious dish but also impressive enough for those days when you have unexpected guests.
What make it special is the way asparagus are cut. Instead of chopped asparagus, I cut it with a vegetable peeler making long strips of asparagus, similar to noodles. It give to the dish an impressive look. Also the combination of fresh asparagus and earthy mushrooms is superb, so flavourful and comes together quickly, in less than 30 minutes.
Asparagus is a wonderful vegetable full of beta-carotene, vitamins B, C, E, K, folate and iron. It is also rich in inulin, which works as a prebiotic, which helps stimulate the growth of good healthy bacteria in our gut. Use buckwheat spaghetti for a more nutty flavour as well as a more nutrient dense dish.
